I'd totally be into it....I have a massive saltwater spinning rod and a reel that holds lots of line...it could easily handle a large salmon, would it work for barfishing or is it really dependent on the action of the rod? It looks to me like as long as you had a rod that could cast the weight it'd be fine....
If this sounds like it would work, I'd be into it for sure!..but not until early august since i'll be up fishing the little smokey all next week!!
Ive got a car so i can shuttle a couple guys out there , but no boat...
